  I am enjoying this series with the Blackbird and I don't like being an armchair critic but the only bit of advice I can give is throw away that adjustable spanner they are a sure fire way to round off a tight nut and bolt

  Just a suggestion,  ditch the adjustable spanner, nasty bolt rounding tools. 😊 Great series of vids, keep going 👍

  Get a set of proper spanners bro. Broke my heart seeing u use the adjustable on the brake lines.

  Unhook throttle cables from grip first, the attach engine end first the connect again at the grip.

  Yep, adjustable spanners are the best bolt / nut rounder-offers!

  I think the front brake cables are swapped. The shorter cable needs to be on the other side. And for the throttle bodies, use silicone spray not copper grease

  Use some tubing (5mm ID, which I sell online lol) and a syringe to pull all old brake fluid out through the bleed nipples before undoing the banjo bolts. Then when it&apos;s time to fill and bleed them, top up the reservoir and use the syringe to pull fluid through into each caliper (always start at the furthest away on the front), then bleed as normal, otherwise it can be almost impossible to get pressure in the system.<br>And for the throttle cables, would be much easier to do those before fitting the throttle bodies 😎

  i understand you are working on a budget and that is ok, but when you have acces to rusted brackets for example it is easy to put some new spraypaint on them and it would make all the difference in the end, surely it will not cost much money nor effort to do so, for the rest i like your channel, i had a blackbird once and i am enjoying every minute of it, thanks
